Swedo Still Seeing Patients?

[PKM]

Does anyone know if Dr. Swedo still sees patients??? (Or is she pretty much kept busy with research, speaking engagements etc.) If anyone here has seen her - how was the experience?

 

Thanks

I don't know if she's seeing patients outside of research studies or not. She's currently heading up NIMH's autism studies;

I wouldn't think she sees patients, but if you have a specific question, you could try to contact her via email and perhaps you will get a response. Just remember that since she's not your child's doctor, she may be limited to what info she can give. I wouldn't think she can give actual medical advice.

Thanks Vickie and Peglem

 

I didn't think Swedo was actively seeing/treating patients but I thought if she was, someone here would know about it. (My son's neurologist was wanting to refer him to Swedo but I don't think she will be able to see him. Swedo may point us in a different direction though.....)

 

Thanks again.
